Water is coming through the copper tubing, but not beyond the valve that plugs iinto the bottom of the refrigerator. No water is getting to the icemaker. We don't know what to do now. Dee

If the refrigerator has been unplugged for five hours it may just have to get cold enough for the icemaker to cycle. Although it should have cycled by now make sure the refrigerator is getting cold enough.

I got 2 quarts of water in the pan before I discovered it! lucky!! Turning the lever stops it. but it's not stopping at a fill spot and making ice. Now what?

Icemaker is supposed to turn on the water valve for like 9 seconds to fill a normal size icemaker mold. As you stated, the water flow stopped when you turned the icemaker off!! Also, make sure your freezer temperature is well below 15 degrees for normal icemaker operation.
